The Homeschool Mother's Journal #2

v In my life this week…week
2 of the kids in school proved to be a bigger adjustment than week 1.

vIn our homeschool this week…The Teenager
started full school and his writing class though the PSP. Planted some seeds
with Babycakes. The Teenager is improving this week, Babycakes seems to have
stalled again.

vHelpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…Pray.
A lot. :)

vI am inspired by…My friends who have kids with
worse health and learning problems than mine. Reminds me that I really can do
what God has set before me.

vPlaces we’re going and people we’re seeing…Went
to The Teenager's Grammar class which was fun for Babycakes coz he got to
wander all over the compound. :)

vMy favorite thing this week was…Finding out
The Teenager's fave teacher was going to be teaching a musical theater class
and The Teenager signing up for it. :)

vWhat’s working/not working for us…Working--Babycakes
and the whiteboard. He loves it. Not Working--The Teenager's math curriculum. I
thought it was just a matter of being able to focus more time with him but it's
the whole curriculum. We will be switching.

vQuestions/thoughts I have…"He came, He
saw, He surrendered all so that we might be born again." The Nazarene by
Michael Card--Yes, I'm that old. ;D

vThings I’m working on…Working on cleaning out
the playroom to turn it into a study/school room. My, haven't we come full
circle? :D

vI’m reading…The Ultimate Container Gardener by
Stephanie Donaldson

vI’m cooking…Still nothing. Will this heat
never end?

vI’m grateful for…Youcef Nadarkhani's release.

vI’m praying for…Energy as we enter our first
full week of school and all the extra-curricular activities
